KPASSWD(1)                                                                                        KPASSWD(1)



NAME
       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
       kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.  kpasswd prompts for the cur-rent current
       rent Kerberos password, which is used to obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for  the  user's  Ker-beros Kerberos
       beros realm.  If kpasswd successfully obtains the changepw ticket, the user is prompted twice for the
       new password, and the password is changed.

       If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number of character classes
       required  in  the  new  password,  the  new password must conform to the policy.  (The five character
       classes are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)

OPTIONS
       principal
              change the password for the Kerberos principal principal.  Otherwise, kpasswd uses the princi-pal principal
              pal name from the system default ccache if there is one; if not, the principal is derived from
              the identity of the user invoking the kpasswd command.

PORTS
       kpasswd looks first for kpasswd_server = host:port in the [realms] section  of  the  edu.mit.Kerberos
       file under the current realm.  If that is missing, kpasswd looks for the admin_server entry, but sub-stitutes substitutes
       stitutes 464 for the port.
